PiStorm on Pi Boot
Bootup script
To start PiStorm on automatically on boot, copy this file into /etc/systemd/system/ in your Pi's filesystem. Then run:
sudo systemctl enable pistorm
This script will start PiStorm before the network connections have started.
Faster boot
The Pi does several things that aren't needed for PiStorm at bootup, the following steps will accelerate the boot time for you.
config.txt
Edit /boot/config.txt and add the following lines:
# Disable the rainbow splash screen
disable_splash=1
# Set the bootloader delay to 0 seconds. The default is 1s if not specified.
boot_delay=0
# Disable Bluetooth
dtoverlay=disable-bt
By default there is a 1 second boot delay and initialising bluetooth takes a couple of seconds.
cmdline.txt
Edit the /boot/cmdline.txt and add quiet near the end, as an example (do NOT copy/paste this line):
console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=5f1219ae-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes quiet rootwait
This shaves a little time off spitting out boot logs to the screen.
fstab
Disable /boot remount on boot, this will mean you will need to do sudo mount /boot when you want to change files in that partition, but it shaves off half a second from boot. To do this add noauto to the options second for the /boot line, for example (do NOT copy/paste this line):
PARTUUID=5f1219ae-01 /boot vfat defaults,noauto 0 2
Disable swap
If we need swap something went wrong. This shaves about another second off the boot time:
sudo systemctl disable dphys-swapfile.service
